In case Albert is on vacation and you are unable to find tires in Quito, do not be afraid to drive down to Cuenca and search for them (99% sure they will have them, Cuenca is the motorcycle hub of Ecuador). When I was studying in Cuenca, memeber Scouse&Sara could not find the right tire for his V-Strom in Quito and ended up buying it from the U.S. and having it shipped.
I tried to convince him to come down here first, because when he arrived we went to Austro Motors and they had his tire. The U.S. tire shop told him it would take 8-10 days First Class Air mail USPS. I had been waiting 3.5 weeks on my parents First Class Air mail USPS package. He decided to just buy the tire at Austro Motors and continue on.
Cuenca, Equador
Austro Motors address
Presidente Cordova I-71. (downtown Cuenca)
